“The healthcare industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation globally as it shifts from a volume-based business to a value-based business. Growing demands from consumers for improved healthcare quality and greater value are forcing healthcare providers and payers to deliver optimized outcomes. In addition, the number of hospital admissions is rising globally but the healthcare infrastructure is not growing at a similar pace leading to overburdening of the healthcare system. In order, to overcome l these challenges and meet consumer expectations, healthcare providers are increasingly adopting patient flow management solutions which enable them to provide improved healthcare at reduced costs.
The global patient flow management solutions market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 22% from 2014 to 2019, to reach $678.4 million by 2019 from $251 million in 2014.Over the years, the healthcare industry has realized that the traditional approaches to patient flow management and cost management are inefficient to keep pace with the emerging challenges. Therefore, patient flow management solutions will be among the priorities on the investment list of healthcare organizations for highly streamlined patient flow outcomes and cost management. Based on the mode of delivery, web-based solutions form the largest segment of the patient flow management solutions market in 2014. However, cloud-based solutions are the fastest-growing delivery mode.
In the segmentation based on type of solutions, the event-driven market will continue to hold a major market share during the forecast period. However, the RTLS market is expected to grow at a higher rate due to increasing awareness about RTLS-driven patient flow solutions and their benefits. Based on geography, North America is expected to grow at the highest CAGR. The high growth in the North American region can be attributed to factors such as government initiatives for patient flow management, shift towards a patient centric approach, and the focus on reducing healthcare costs.
